1. Golden State Warriors (3-1)
And all of a sudden, we play the waiting game on another Stephen Curry injury.
With seconds remaining in the first half of Game 4, Stephen Curry slipped on a wet spot while running back on defense. He fell on his knee awkwardly and didn’t return to the game after trying – and failing – to warm up before the start of the second half.
Curry’s injury is officially listed as a sprained knee and will further be evaluated. However, even as the Warriors hold a 3-1 series lead over the Rockets, there has to be at least some level of concern moving forward for the Warriors.

For the record, the Warriors NEED Curry in order to do anything further in the NBA Playoffs They won’t beat the Clippers (in the second round) or the Spurs (in the Conference Finals) without Curry. It’s an unfortunate situation for everyone involved.
